Annual Report 2011 - Community Foundation
Letter from the President
Dear Friends & Partners of the Community Foundation,
When you live in the Texas Hill Country, it’s easy to love where you live! When you love where you
live, you naturally want to take care of the area and plan for it’s future. That part’s not so easy
unless, of course, you allow the Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country to assist you in
your philanthropic planning.
For twenty-nine years, the Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country has served area donors
and the causes they champion: education, the arts, youth, family, scholarships, and community
service. In those years, the Community Foundation has distributed a massive $11 million to
charitable causes.
2011 was a year of change that continued to focus on connecting with the present, while still
planning for the future. This Annual Report reflects the concentrated efforts of the Board of
Trustees and the staff who worked diligently to provide an effective vehicle for members of the
community to set aside monies to invest in our Texas Hill Country.
Letter from the
Director and
President
The Board of Trustees managed the creation of new funds and the disbursement of grants and
scholarships. New funds created included:
 Becky’s Hope Fund
 Fredericksburg Parks & Recreation Foundation Fund
 Adolph and Ida Karger and the Felix, Betty and Felicia Barth Fund
Scholarships remained high on the priority list at the Community Foundation, as evidenced by the
totals awarded for the year: a colossal $80,000 was distributed by the Foundation to area high
school seniors seeking to further their education.
As we prepare to celebrate our 30th Anniversary of service to the Texas Hill Country in 2012, we
ask you to carefully consider how you can be a part of the mission and vision of the Community
Foundation. Interested, yet? We hope so! Join us in bettering the lives of those around us and
improving the Hill Country we love so dearly!
Rob Kelly
President, Board of Trustees
Our Heritage…
In 1981, a few forward-thinking residents of the Texas Hill Country embarked on
a journey to establish perpetual philanthropy. Their efforts have been wildly
successful and many in the area have reaped the benefits.
Mrs. Alma Dietert gave the first philanthropic gift of $5,000, and she continued
to contribute during her lifetime and through her estate. Other area residents
followed Mrs. Dietert’s lead, and The Community Foundation of the Texas Hill
Country (formerly the Kerrville Area Community Trust) now boasts assets of
more than $9.1 million.
The Foundation currently manages 98 separate funds, and serves Kerr,
Gillespie, Kendall, and Bandera counties. More importantly, it has distributed
over $11.8 million for charitable purposes in those counties! Grants to local
nonprofit agencies and scholarships to graduating seniors top the priority list of
needs the Foundation fills.
The Community Foundation also partners with local businesses to offer Summit,
a training event for nonprofit professionals. Summit provides quality,
affordable education for staff and board members alike. Additionally, the
Foundation presents and hosts the Snow Ball Gala, a biennial formal gathering
that benefits non-profit organizations within our service area.
The Community Foundation strives to assist donors achieve their philanthropic
goals through the creation of new funds and through contributions to existing
funds. Involvement in and knowledge of the Hill Country continues to keep
the Community Foundation in the forefront of visionary thinking, a reflection of
the efforts of its humble origin: Philanthropic efforts that are

Opening a Fund
Opening a fund at the Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country is a
simple and flexible way to accomplish your charitable goals. Funds created
allow the maximum tax deduction and give you the power to make a difference today and forever through a lasting legacy in our area.
Follow these three steps to make a perpetual gift:
1. Choose a name for the fund
Donors should carefully consider the fund’s name, as it stays with the fund
forever. Grants made from a fund recognize the fund by name.
Examples of how to name a fund include:





The name of the person establishing the fund (i.e. the Caroline and Christopher Davis
Unrestricted Fund)
The family name (i.e. the Hawthorne Family Fund)
A favorite cause (i.e. the Visual Arts Endowment Fund)
A memorial (i.e. the Walter Perkins Memorial Scholarship Fund)
An Anonymous Fund
2. Pinpoint the type of impact you want your fund to make
Designate a fund in one of the following ways:
 Unrestricted-Donors who choose this type of fund prefer that distributions
always address the community’s highest priorities.
 Field of Interest-Donors choosing this type of fund want to support a specific
area of interest, such as the arts, education, or a particular segment of
society (i. e. children).
 Designated-This fund is chosen by donors who want to name specific
charitable organizations to receive monies, ensuring future funding for a
donor’s favorite charity.
 Agency Endowment-This type of fund is opened by organizations as a
means of endowment that supports the organization’s efforts.
The Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country | 2011 Annual Report



Donor Advised-This fund is often chosen by donors wanting be active in the
recommendation process regarding the use of the fund’s proceeds. Donor
may make suggestions to the Community Foundation Board of Trustees.
Donor advised funds can be endowed, or non-endowed.
Scholarship-A fund often established in honor or in memory of a loved one
to benefit a graduating high school senior. More information can be found
about scholarship funds on page 12 of this Annual Report.
3. Choose the method of making your gift and leaving your legacy
Many gifts begin to work immediately:
 Cash (minimum balance required to begin disbursements)
 Securities: The charitable deduction is based on full market value for both
closely-held and publicly-traded stocks. Capital gains taxes on appreciation are avoided.
 Real Estate: If donor has held real estate for more than one year, the
benefits mimic that of securities. The Community Foundation may hold or
sell the real estate.
 Wills and bequests
 Deferred gift agreements
 Insurance policies
 Various other split-interest trusts
All donors are urged to designate a portion
of their fund for unrestricted purposes to
allow for changing needs in the community
and future projects.

creation of an Agency Endowed
Fund in their name. Net earnings

Foundation according to the
direction of the charity. Individual
donors or the charity, itself, can
make contributions to the
endowment for distribution to the
organization.
Non-profit organization supporters
and volunteers are encouraged to
make donations to the charity’s
endowment fund. Donations can
be memorials, honorariums, or
simply a gift to support the entity
they champion. A gift to the
endowment fund for an organization is a means to provide a lasting
legacy for that organization.

Scholarships
Scholarship awards are always a top priority at the Community Foundation of
the Texas Hill Country. More than 300 scholarships worth over $2 million have
been distributed to high school seniors since the inception of the Community
Foundation. Generous donors have created over 20 different scholarship
funds that directly address the financial needs of students in the area.
Scholarships through the Community Foundation can be narrow or broad,
depending on the wishes of the donor. The staff works closely with donors to
help them define their intent to better fulfill their philanthropic aspirations.
Scholarship Application Information
Scholarship information and deadline dates are available online at:
www.communityfoundation.net.
Establishing a Scholarship
Donors interested in establishing a fund may do so by working with the
Community Foundation staff to answer the following questions:





What do I want to name the fund?
Do I want the fund to last into perpetuity?
Do I want to target a particular field of study?
Do I care what college the student attends?
Do I care from what high school the student graduates?
Once answered, the fund is created and is considered charitable; thus, funds
are fully deductible from federal income tax. (Be sure to consult your
professional tax advisor about your individual situation.)

Community Foundation Partners
People who give through the Community Foundation are more than donors to
a cause; they are Partners in our Texas Hill Country’s evolving story. Partners
are investors in our community’s economy, culture and welfare. Additionally,
the contributions by Partners honored loved ones, supported worthwhile
community projects and improved the quality of life in the Hill Country - but not
just for today, for years to come. Community Foundation Partners participate
in generosity, growth, and perpetuity.
